VMware said it benefited from strong demand by the federal government and other customers. “The quarter’s strong performance reinforces that VMware is on the right path to help customers navigate the changing IT landscape,” CEO Paul Maritz said in a statement accompanying the results.

For the current quarter, VMware expects revenue in a range of $790 million to $810 million, exceeding Wall Street estimates, according to Bloomberg News.

The company’s third-quarter earnings came in at 20 cents a share. Excluding certain costs, VMware said its earnings would have been 39 cents a share; on that basis, Wall Street analysts had been expecting 35 cents a share, according to Bloomberg.

VMware reported earnings after the stock markets closed Monday. Earlier, its shares closed at $78.35, up 72 cents, or 0.9 percent, from Friday’s closing price. The stock was down about 5 percent in after-hours trading.
